Mason County Fire Department RE: Pacific Northwest Salmon Center
426 W.Cedar Street Emergency Vehicle Access Requirements
P.O.Box 186
Shelton,WA 98584
Dear Mr.Swarthout,
Thanks for taking the time to speak with me the other day. As I mentioned to you on the phone,our firm has been retained by
the Theler Organization to develop a master plan for the proposed Pacific Northwest Salmon Center at the Theler Wetlands in
Belfair Washington. The following is a summary of our conversation regarding Fire Department requirements for the new
facility:
• Access for emergency vehicles must be provided to within 150'of any point on the building. A 20'wide emergency
vehicle access lane is required.
• Existing conditions in the area would have to be reviewed to determine the need for new fire hydrants.
• Fire hydrants must have 3'of clearance on all sides.
• Post indicator valves are required.
• The Fire Department will need to review the final plans for conformance with the access standards.
If you have any questions,comments,revisions,or if you can think of some information that I have omitted,please do not
hesitate to contact me. Once again,thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
B UCE DEE & CIA ES
Jack Johnson,ASLA
